Pilgrims and Worshippers

In Tibet, for example, pilgrims (gnas ’khor mkhan) from all over the Tibetan cultural sphere (and increasingly from non-Tibetan regions of China and from abroad) will find their way through Sera Monastery’s gates. Sera-India attracts pilgrims chiefly from the refugee Tibetan population, but it has also become a pilgrimage site for the non-Tibetan students of senior Sera monks who have founded centers abroad.
